Cenergistic

The company states one thing to get you in the door, but once employed those conditions can change such as the flexibility they advertise in the employment video. The company is "engineering heavy" and very closed-minded about different ways to conserve energy other than tweeking HVAC mechanical equipment.  There were no objective ways to measure employee performance other than if you were deemed to be "sharp" from conversations management would have. 

After relocating to Lexington for this role in what was supposed to be a 5 year contract, I was laid off after 2 years with very little severance.  After I was laid off the University (Cenergistic's customer) still received $26K in revenue from the rebate program that I initiated. I'm still unclear on how that was a good management decision.  I guess in this instance generating revenue for the customer was not what the company wanted.

This was the worse employer I have yet worked for. I have previously been in many bad working environment from teaching, restaurant work, research labs, and many more environments. The beginning is a dream where they are very low expectations. However with little to no notice this will slowly start to change. You will work 24 hours and be blamed for any problem even if you have no control over it. I would ensure you have a good manager who will actually help you. Mine was never there. I meet with them 3 times in person by 6-7 months in. Later they will start to show up but do nothing to help or support you but pretend they did something by staying on the phone with another client the whole time. 

This started out as a decent company to work for, but that all changed recently. Ever since the word "profitability" became the singular driving force of this company, everything has changed. Management is too busy posting to their corporate blog and Twitter accounts to worry about anything else. New business is the focus with shockingly little regard for client or employee retention. They also have had four CEOs since inception in 1986, with two in the past two years (the last one was there about three months - that should tell you all you need to know about how this company is currently being run).

This company use to be called Energy Education. This was a great company that really cared about the contracts they sell. They trained the employees to do a great job for the client's. Now they hire a person and you ask for help and you don't get it. They pay you only fifty dollars a month for a cell phone and you will have to have unlimited data for this new GreenX app they you are tracked every minute of the day by GPS. You will get no travel or car allowance your own your own with that and they ask you to drive more and more at your own expense. They treat employees like children and will fire you in a heartbeat. Most all clients will not renew due to cost of contract is so high. 

Travel and planning of travel consume the vast majority of your time.  It isn't unusual to fly into a city on a Monday and travel over 1000 miles meeting with 10 clients along the way, and then coming home from another city.  This is the norm.

The good news is that you are rather autonomous and free to direct your way and that you meet with clients who typically look forward to seeing you and learning from you.  Your co-workers are very good and willing to help whenever they can.  The strength of employees is definitely a plus.

Very little time is left for you to take care of yourself or your family.  You are gone all week and then spend some of your weekends planning for the next week.

Working as an energy specialist is a job that requires odd hours, but for the most part you can control it. There were weeks were I worked pretty much non stop and others where there wasn't much going on. Its mostly independent work and a lot of it is out walking the clients buildings. Don't be worried if you don't have a background in energy management eventually you will be trained up. Company has a lot of military types and they follow that same attitude. They do good work and it has a clear impact.

Cenergistic is the best job I have ever had. Very flexible on hours, very good training for those willing to learn, and management who meet with you regularly. 

If they had jobs near where I am living, I would re-apply and jump on that chance in a heartbeat. 

Good place to work if the client supports the energy program. Pay is fair for the demand of the job but benefits are sub-par. Health insurance is terrible. Decent opportunity for advancement. 

Supervision and leadership was lacking. Training by firehose was too much information at the start of the job. High turnover and lacking in helpfulness and support. At the start of the job, it's too much information and workload.

I was the marketing assistant that catered to ~12 road based marketers as far as materials, correspondence to potential clients and handled requests for existing clients to maintain the relationship.  Was fast paced and something that I miss very much.
